Ok, I submitted the patch to Trac [1]. If you want to try it, you should also consider patching a small bug [2] (which appears on Amazon scans, too). It is working without any problems on my systems, however, use it at your own risk

No, thank you for your contributions. Keep it up and you'll get your own SVN access after the worst dust has settled...

ANyway, I was just about to say that I've added them to the 0810 branch, but I guess you already noticed. There will probably be another update tonight so it should be available to the alpha1 users tomorrow

I did have problems patching it...I had to manually edit the following files:coverArt.lang.phpeditMediaFile.lang.phpeditMediaFile.php

Would the .rej files help?

I also found 2 bugs, the first is just a a text that is not translated.The option to include attributes is called "Include Amazon attributes" and should be IMDB.The other is Genres. If a Genre does not exist, it gets added as a Title or a Album.For example I have never used the Genre "Drama", all movies get a second Title called "Drama".After adding the Genre "Drama" manually to one movie, it gets added correctly as a Genre.

Fatal error: mysql error: [1062: Duplicate entry '26512-871-0-0' for key 1] in EXECUTE("INSERT INTO File_Attribute (FK_File,FK_Attribute) VALUES ('26512','871')") in /var/www/pluto-admin/include/adodb/adodb-errorhandler.inc.php on line 77One other thing. It's slow (and worth it). Sometimes the search is fast, and whenever I see a difference in the speed the list is shorter. When It's slow, I get a duplicate list of selectable movies. When It's fast I get only the movie I'm after.

I'm sorry to say that I have not done anything to the database. But what I have done, is install my DVB-C card in the Core again hoping that it would be stable now... The problem is that every time I do that, the server starts hardlocking. Usually every 6-8 hours. Black screen, no response to keyboard/mouse, network is down, ssh not responding, no internet on other PC and the power button does not shutdown the server. I have to hold the power button til it shuts down.

The server did hardlock on me while I was tagging media, just after pressing the "Get Coverart" button and I had to power down and boot. That could explain the file table with errors.

Fatal error: mysql error: [1062: Duplicate entry '168-78-0-0' for key 1] in EXECUTE("INSERT INTO File_Attribute (FK_File,FK_Attribute) VALUES ('168','78')") in /var/www/pluto-admin/include/adodb/adodb-errorhandler.inc.php on line 77The strange thing is, if I enter the same media again, now it has coverart and all the attributes.

I've seen this error happen to my system several times... no only with the IMDB patch but also with the older amazon attribute fetching. I haven't looked into this yet, but if you just do a reload the error does not occur again and the data is stored as expected.

Hmm, would have to check the patch again. If I remember correctly, there was a problem when adding the stuff to SVN, too, but the problem was fixed. I think it was my fault because I somehow mixed up different branches (0710, 0810 and trunk).

The other is Genres. If a Genre does not exist, it gets added as a Title or a Album.For example I have never used the Genre "Drama", all movies get a second Title called "Drama".After adding the Genre "Drama" manually to one movie, it gets added correctly as a Genre.

I think this is not related to the IMDB patch which only fetches the attributes. Under some circumstances you should see that behavior with amazon, too. Please try to apply the patch from ticket #52 (http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/52) and report back if the problem stays.

Yeah, I know that it is slow. Unfortunately you have to do several queries to IMDB to fetch all the information and the more movies you find with the search, the slower it gets...
